Name to distinguish between parameters used for 'is not equal' operations and those used for 'is equal' operations
You are trying to wedge the meanings into adjectives that just aren't natural. I would suggest variations like:
Criteria that are required (i.e. requirements). Colloquially, you might say must-haves.
And criteria that are disallowed or prohibited (i.e. prohibitions) Colloquially a common term in the context of dating would be dealbreakers.
- inclusive Criteria
- exclusive Criteria
You may use cover/include for "is equal to" and exclude/excluding for "is not equal to" E.g:
location covering/covers New York.
location including/includes New York.
